Notice in the bottom photo the mast rotation is pointing to the side-stay (fully powered up). Reading back in previous post, many suggest rotating back towards the rear beam; however, looking at many of the photos (Tornado, I20, F18, F16) it seems that most have their mast rotated way out.
Granted, Andi and Tim ate ...errrrrrr... alot of pizza and drank many beers on Friday night .... but .....
What is the current conventional wisdom on mast rotation in 20+ knots of wind?
Less rotation for less power. Where this comes in the sequence of depowering is up for debate I think. My scheme is downhaul, traveler out, less rotation, go home.
